Actuall the science of used oil testing has shown the brand new oil requires a slight break in period for the oil additives to stablize. Changing the oil before the lifespan has fully experied is a waste. Over 100k an engine that has had oil changed too often will have increased wear over oil that has been allowed to utilize its lifespan.

Kind of like a new pair of shoes and your feet. Wear a new pair of shoes every day verse a new pair every 6 months.
